About this property

Parkway Paradise Cozy Retreat Blue Ridge Parkway Family & Pet Friendly

Our cozy studio apartment offers home-like comfort surrounded by nature. Pet-friendly and family-friendly amenities provide everything you need for a relaxing self-contained stay. Steps from the Blue Ridge Parkway, explore the countryside and the quaint mountain towns. The surrounding landscape ranges from grassy meadows to forests to the cliffs of the Bluffs, winding rivers and trails. Fully equipped studio, full kitchen, built above our garage. Mountain views, peaceful woods, bass pond.

Parkway Paradise is the studio apartment above our garage. Guests enter through the garage and walk up 15 steps to the immaculately clean studio. A large laundry room separates the apartment from our house. We have 2 cats and 3 pups that play outside.

Parkway travelers and outdoor explorers, come relax and enjoy the peaceful serenity of the trees reflecting on the pond. Throw in a line when fish are biting. When the weather is inviting, cook out on the propane grill and dine al fresco on the patio. Cozy up in one of the Adirondack chairs and enjoy some complimentary s'mores over the fire pit. This studio apartment over our attached garage features a spacious deck with a propane fireplace, propane grill, patio table for dining and lounge chairs for stargazing. Large backyard, and full kitchen.

The one room studio apartment features a queen murphy bed and a double sofa-bed. It can accommodate 5 if the couch is also used as a bed, useful for small kids. Dining table, closet, and bathroom with a standing shower. Packed with thoughtful extras, from the coffee bar to toiletries.

Guests must walk up 15 stairs, indoors, from the garage to the studio apartment. Baby gate at top of stairs. Never leave children unattended for safety.

Kitchen is well-stocked. If you need anything else, we probably have it. ;)
